The rather bad tempered and authoritarian Duc de Berri commanded a Bourbon Cavalry Corps
that consisted completely of French deserters of all units and ranks who intended to fight
for Louis XVIII's cause: cuirassiers, grenadiers á cheval and chasseurs, line dragoons
and lancers, officers and privates, and some of the new garde du corps. All of them wore
their proper uniforms and sat on horses from their own units, whatever the differences in
size. Squadrons were led by generals, and populated by all ranks.
